Chat is a text only community for casual conversation, please keep shitposting to the absolute minimum. This is intended to be a separate space from c/chapotraphouse or the daily megathread. Chat does this by being a long-form community where topics will remain from day to day unlike the megathread, and it is distinct from c/chapotraphouse in that we ask you to engage in this community in a genuine way. Please keep shitposting, bits, and irony to a minimum.
As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.
Thank you and happy chatting!

Look, there's a very simple answer here - standardized testing. The hordes of people yearning to post on hexbear will not be discouraged by a volume of text or two which they must read and then pass a test on in order to create an account (entrance exams).
In order to maintain an account in good standing, all accounts must regularly undergo testing on some randomly chosen Marxist text from a list determined The People's School Board (it will be all Marxists texts of course, all of them).
Failure to pass bimonthly testing will put your account in bad standing and you will become unable to post to or see "fun" coms (badposting, the_dunk_tank, shrekland) until your standing improves. Only theory comms will be viewable and only questions or commentary on theory will not be removed. Failure to pass even one test within a year will result in a ban.
It's really that easy!
SmallBeanPoster: "Why was I banned? I got 9/10 correct answers."
PowerMod: "You did. But you also spelled bourgeoisie wrong."
We should do this unironically, but without the bans and stuff.
This is such a good idea. Are you a teacher? Lol
Just wanted to add to this. Instead of points. We have users score on the last test and overall grade since they were a user on the site. Report Cards will submitted at the end of the year. You will have a cumulative GPA. You are only sent to theory purgatory once you are failing for the whole school year. We will have long written responses where a group of hexbears will grade you and give you feedback. High scoring students will get extra badges.
